Gilchrist Junior/Senior High School

Gilchrist is a small timber town tucked into the ponderosa pine forests of central Oregon, and its Junior/Senior High School has the tight-knit feel you'd expect from a community where everyone knows everyone. Families who value small class sizes, close relationships with teachers, and a rural lifestyle surrounded by outdoor recreation will feel right at home here. It's a school where students aren't just a number, even if academic scores still have room to grow — and the surrounding Klamath County landscape, with its lakes, trails, and wide-open spaces, makes for a childhood that's hard to replicate anywhere else.
